Biz et al[13] | 33-year-old female | Marathon training | Previous history of anorexia with amenorrhea | Left femoral lateral fracture, incomplete in the posterior-distal part | DHS + 30 days of partial weightbearing | At 12-month follow-up, she was completely pain-free and demonstrated full range of motion |
Biz et al[13] | 48-year-old female | Initiated running | None | Complete and displaced left femoral neck base stress fracture | DHS + 30 days of no weightbearing. Subsequently increasing load over 20 days to complete load | At 3-month follow-up, she was able to walk, pain-free and had started stationary cycling and swimming |
Cichy et al[9] | 23-year-old male marathon runner | Marathon | None | Complete, minimally displaced basicervical fracture of the right femoral neck | DHS + 6 weeks of partial weightbearing | No avascular necrosis, lights sports |
Clough et al[10] | 55-year-old male | Marathon training | None | Displaced lateral fracture of the right femoral neck, which had collapsed into varus, with a neck-shaft angle of 110° | DHS | Not mentioned |
Ejnisman et al[14] | 56-year-old female | No clear causative agent | None | Complete fracture of the base of the femoral neck with subtle displacement | 3x CHS | Full recovery after 6 months |
Kerr et al[12] | 32-year-old male | Marathon | None | Lateral fracture of the femoral neck with varus displacement and a neck-shaft angle of 90° | DHS + 6 months of partial weightbearing | Full weightbearing, lights sports at 8 months |
Scott et al[15] | 50-year-old male marathon runner | Increased his running mileage | None | Slightly displaced fracture through the base of the neck of the right proximal femur | 3x CHS + 6 weeks of partial weightbearing | Full weightbearing, light sports at 12 weeks |
